*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses have long served as navigational aids for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways, marking dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks, and safe entries to harbors. They also assist in aerial navigation. Historically, the construction of lighthouses began over 2,000 years ago, with the ancient Egyptians and Greeks being the pioneers in building these critical structures. Today, lighthouses serve not only as functional aids for navigation but also as historical monuments and tourist attractions. Many are preserved and operated by government authorities or local preservation societies, offering a glimpse into the maritime history and technological advancements that have shaped sea travel over the centuries.
